HC Deb 21 January 1969 vol 776 c98W
Mr. Ron Lewis

asked the Minister of Transport if he will issue instructions to driving examiners that they should ensure when persons are being tested that the doors of the vehicle are secure, and that they should not rely upon the trainee's judgment.

Mr. Marsh

No. It is the responsibility of the driver to ensure that the doors of his vehicle are secure; but, wherever practicable, an examiner will take suitable action to prevent an accident arising during a driving test.
